Parameters
- NewWindow
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. True to display the target document in a new window. The default value is False.
- AddHistory
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. This argument is reserved for future use.
- ExtraInfo
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. A string or byte array that specifies additional information for HTTP to use to resolve the hyperlink. For example, you can use ExtraInfo to specify the coordinates of an image map, the contents of a form, or a FAT file name. The string is either posted or appended, depending on the value of Method. Use the ExtraInfoRequired property to determine whether extra information is required.
- Method
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. Specifies the way additional information for HTTP is handled. Can be any MsoExtraInfoMethod constant.
- HeaderInfo
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. A string that specifies header information for the HTTP request. The default value is an empty string. You can combine several header lines into a single string. The specified string is automatically converted into ANSI characters. Note that the HeaderInfo argument may overwrite default HTTP header fields.
Remarks
If the hyperlink uses the file protocol, this method opens the document instead of downloading it.
